THE YEAR OF THE PROTESTER
Great job Time Magazine on your Person of the Year choice! Check out the link below and read Rick Stengel's piece "Person of the Year Introduction".
I've been interested in the differences in opinion of people that I know regarding the protesters. Some to the far left, some (most) to the far right. Time Magazine encompasses all the protesters world wide, not just the "Occupy" ones. I recall conversations where comments were made that the protest movement would move across borders to include many different oppressed peoples in many different countries. That it has. Obviously conditions in some countries are more dire than in others. I encounter many disgusted in the Occupy Movement. This generally comes from those on the right. For the US the protests were not just about Wall Street. It was inevitable for there to be protests here too. It's inevitable that the protesters of the world are not finished either.
